3 new T's

fine! meh! I'll use CrapBucket. photos were taken quickly and badly.

psalmopoeus cambridgei this poor little dude is missing a leg.




cyclosternum fasciatum




and the smallest of the three, brachypelma albiceps



credit goes out to lle@the spidershop

I'm gonna try feeding them mealworm slices.

Fixed.

nice! that leg will grow back after a few moults.
that brachy will take YEARS to get to full size!

I have had my albiceps aaages and it still isn't much bigger than that haha.

GORGEOUS and nice choices, esp the tiger rump.

So many people (including me ) have got new spideys today hehe

cheers peoples.

I'm aware I'll probably die before the brachypelma does

anyway, I'm well pleased, the b.albiceps is enjoying some mealworm slices. he will be mega fat tommorow. I'm keeping him at the hot corner of my invert drawer so he will grow a tad faster. the P.cambrigei is just setting into a new tub, last one wasn't tall enough for an aboreal.

excellent lil T's
I am getting four more T's and a scorpion at the end of the month hopefully

I should be getting

Lasiodora parahybana
Nandhu coloratovillosus
Ceratogyrus darlingi
and a lil Euscorpius flavicaudis all off of Lisa if all goes to plan

and a lovely 4 inch
Hysterocrates gigas aswell

Wish I could share your enthusiasm

Aww, cute li'l fuzzbutts! That P. cambridgei will get a new leg as soon as it molts -- and it looks pretty well close! (Or just well-fed.) Lori had an A. avicularia sling completely regenerate a leg in two molts -- one molt it was all there but skinny, the second molt it was as if it never happened.

I should be getting an A. moderatum this week.

good luck with Everyones new T's! I think I'm mainly after dwarf species seeing as I don't have very much room in my room

anyway, I think the Cambridei will moult pretty soon, it's not doing very much atm; the others have fed and setup camp. I wouldn't be surprised if it moulted right this second. and I hear these are fast growers too, yay.

Gotta love Blu Tac!






that's the cambridei's diggs. it's webbed up the tube green thing in the middle quite a bit since.

is it happy now then. No longer on the floor?
whats with all the blu tac tho dude

nah, It's decided to web up the tube, So i'm happy. Still think it's gonna moult soon.

and the Blu - tac is holding the lid on. the lid that came with it was too tough to put holes in so I got some thin plasticstuff and spent an hour putting holes in it with a tac.

could have heated up a needle...

not got a blowtorch handy. well, 'spose I could of used a candle or something.

brainfart.

Awww, wicked. Kinda scary though... I am arachnophobic... lol

how can you be arachnophobic and keep scorpions

Ludacris! T's are just as great as scorpions.

Haha, I know. I dont mind scorpions. Tbh, I dont mind T's. Baby T's a quite regular spider-like though. Bit more scary.

I really really want a T, partly as I think they are very interesting animals, and partly because I want to over come my arachnophoia. My flatmate wont let me though

I know! I want one, as explained above. B. smithi would be awesome

why won't your flatmate let you? 'cause half the flat is filled with other creatures?

just dnt tell your flat mate, is he a bit on the girly side?
just get summat like a G.rosea or any of the brachys and he would probs never evn know it was there, or tell him its a rare species of scorpion that doesnt have a metesoma or telson lol

Haha, no, all my animals are in my bedroom. She is arachnophobic too... but, doesn't see my reasoning. I say: we should get one, and over come out fear. She says: no. LOL.

It IS a she! haha. I am very tempted to you know. I have even had offers of a FREE g. rosea and set up from someone on RFUK, but as of yet, I have declined. I am going to talk to her soon, see if I can persuad her again

why is she against them?
I mean its in ur room, and you have scorps, and the chances f a rosie or a brachy escaping are ridiculous i mean they cant climb they are useless lol
get a Pokie lmao

And yeah sorry to assume your flatmate is male, I probs shouldnt makes me look slightly
homophobic lol

just buy one and keep it hidden.

I honestly dont know why she's so against them. I mean, yes, she is petrified of spiders... but, I am scared too. And exactly: thats what I have told her: they wont be escaping! No more chance of them escaping then the scorps. Haha, actually, the other day my other flatmate called me to the stairs. I was like "yeh, whats up?", she said "erm... whats this?". It was one of the morio worms! I went back... and from a full box, two are left. The others are around the house somewhere, having chewed their way out :S Eek!

And no worries! lol. I wasn't offended. In fact, surely assuming I lived with female flatmates might have been more stereotypical? lol. I do anyways... 3 girls, and me.
